"My nutritionist says, 'If you bite it, write it.' Writing down everything that you put in your mouth really helps," she told Women's Health. "I don't count a" darn "calorie. But when I'm really trying to eat healthy, I write everything down. It really holds me accountable and puts me on a healthier path."
"I'm obsessed with moisture. I'm not afraid of oils. I think my obsession with moisturizing is one of the reasons I've held onto not looking my age," she said in an interview with TotalBeauty. "My mom taught me to lotion every part of my body right after I get out of the shower or out of the bath before your skin dries up. So the buttocks, the boobs, the back, legs… I look like a Cirque du Soleil performer when I'm moisturizing."
When dieting, "I actually got too thin because I have tunnel vision," shared Banks with Us Weekly. "So when they said this is what you have to do, I was so strict, and I realized I needed to cheat way more because it didn't look good. I didn't realize I was too thin until I started seeing pictures and I thought, 'Oh, I don't like that. That doesn't look good.'"
"Caffeine is particularly helpful for those who work out. Caffeine found in coffee has been shown to increase epinephrine levels in your blood as well as stimulate the breakdown of fat making free fatty acids available as fuel," Kelli McGrane MS, RD, registered dietitian and Lose It! nutrition consultant, told our sister site Eat This, Not That!. "And these two factors together can help fuel and energize your workout."
"I cut the bagel I half and then I scoop out aaaall that extra bagleisation and put that on the side," she told Harpers BAZAAR. "Then I take my whipped cream cheese and I dig deep into that pot if it. And I fill up the entire scooped out bagel rounds like a moat."
"I used to feel like my body was not mine," Tyra told People in 2018. "I've been too thin or too big. And I used to feel like I was betraying people if I lost weight."
"I always say we can't be A+ in every single category all the time…sometimes we need to call someone for help," Tyra said at Summit21. "As Black women, we're almost viewed as like having a superhero cape on. That we're just supposed to handle and take care of everything…Because it is a natural thing inside of us…that can break us sometimes," she added.
